“A farm coordinator doesn’t plant every seed”

Huh? I have no doubt that mega corporate farms have a “farm manager”, but I can tell you having grown up in small town America, that’s just not a thing. My buddies dad’s were “farm manager”, and absolutely planted every seed of corn (until the boys were old enough to drive the tractor and then it was split duty), and the big farms also harvested their own and the smaller ones hired it out.

So unless claude is planning on learning to drive a tractor it’s going to be a pretty useless task manager telling a farmer to do something he or she was already planning on doing.

Looks like proof of cheating to me, at least for now. Definitely a step in an interesting direction, but not exactly SkyNet.

Reminds me of this project from friends of mine:

That looks like a lot of work with little payoff for a bar bet. I'd have said "Sure, Fred, whatever you say."

Probably what Fred should have said in the first place.

Interesting!

But where is the prompt or api calls to Claude? I can't see that in the repo

Or did Claude generate the code and repo too? And there is a separate project to run it

Lol, the farmer also doesn‘t grow corn, their workers in the fields do.

Do you think that farmer would fail to grow corn if he was challenged and tried to do it?

"AI can't grow corn."

"Hey AI, draft an email asking someone to grow corn. See, AI can grow corn!"

This project is neat in itself, sure, but I feel the author is wayyy missing the point of the original thought.

So... the only job that LLM can replace in the chain here is CEO.
